Wrapped in cellophane wrap!

2008-08-06T13:52:56Z

I did a bellygram once at a Dooly's and they had the poor guy wrapped in layers upon layers of cellophane from shoulders to ankles sitting in those tall high chairs they have. It was rather humorous but must've been uncomfortable for him although he seemed to be having a good time!

not as strange as some, but still....

2008-05-25T21:52:01Z

Was asked to do a performance and mini-lesson for about 22 little 9 year old girls in honor of one of them having her birthday. Said okay, not a problem. They were having the party at her gymnastics studio. Okay, not a problem.

I got there and there were not just a bunch of little girls, but also a bunch of big girls and moms and dads and boys and teachers and I was basically dancing on a bouncing floor - the girls were all afraid of me, and the moms kept giving me "the glare".

The dads, on the other hand, were enjoying things a little too much.

Creepy.

This was disturbing...

2008-05-25T21:49:27Z

I did a birthday party for a 40 year old thrown by his wife...I'm finding that the wife hiring the bellydancer for entertainment for the husband scenario plays out like this a little too often..but anyhoo, aside from no decent sound system and general weirdness...the uh, birthday boy had a set of battery powered red lips pinned to his crotch...nice....kept thrusting it all at me while I was dancing....such class....wife was into it too....I cut my set short and got the heck out of there....oy...

Dancing at a Funeral

2008-05-25T21:46:33Z

Hi

A friend of mine was booked to dance at a funeral once. The person who had died had been a former student of hers who loved belly dancing and when she became terminally ill, she decided what she wanted at her funeral.

My friend found it very very difficult, especially when the husband requested a "happy number" (as that is what his wife wanted). My friend convinced him that a lovely veil piece would be happy but at the same time, graceful and suitable.

I think when I go I might have a belly dancer as well. Had one at my wedding, so why not

Wrestling Match

2007-10-26T10:45:13Z

I was hired to work with the Ugandan Giant in a wrestling match in a small town in KY!

Earlier that day The whole town got together to make a festival for the kids in the local stores parking lot! Complete with a signiture table... A wrestlers Dunk tank, pie eating contest- and large blow up carnival rides etc! No actual adult rides though!

My favorite was the petting zoo- where you could pretty much buy everything!

I had put on my Reniassance festival outfit wanting to not be soo girlie, but then a small girl in her mothers arms when asked said she hated my costume... turnes out she was lebanese (Grin) and her mom had run away with the carnival with the kids a few years back...

er...Anyhow wanting to make the kids happy on their day I showed her my cotton candy pink outfit- and she gave it the very serious nod. I changed and suddenly the town was quite happy with me!

ANyway the gig was hilarious! and I loved every minute of it.. even the shy brothers who kept running away when they were faced with the idea of taking a photo with me!

LOL.. I would totally do it again. The Ugandan giant is a sweetheart!

Roller derby!!

2007-04-22T00:58:04Z

Just found this tribe which is so very timely. My troupe, Mizmar Madness, was the half time entertainment at the roller derby last Saturday night. It was such a blast! The Pikes Peak Derby Dames were amazing. There was much mutual respect between our two groups. I hope we are invited to dance for them again. Would do it in a second.

The best part - discovering that a woman I used to dance with (but hadn't seen in nearly a year) is now a roller derby chick! She is a member of the Candy Snipers and goes by the derby name Yuk Foo.

Art show opening

2007-04-20T22:08:04Z

Not perhaps as strange as Some but Last month my Daughter Mara was asked to dance at an art gallery opening because the exhibition included three photos of her taken when she danced at a drum circle last year. What brought it into the realm of the weird was that the photographer introduced her for longer than the actual performance took. Recited a poem about her beauty and spirituality. She had just been asked to dance with no specifics but she found that they had added her to the program as performing an original dance of her creation called "Creative Hands" and that she was renowned for her " Goddess Dance ". They had also added a detailed description of her dance history and her costume as though She and it were part of the exhibition . The dance went well but the intro was way over the top.

Mormons on a Bus

2006-10-17T18:35:42Z

This really happened, but it was a few years ago, and I have a foggy memory.

So I was hired to belly dance, on a bus, from Orange, County, CA to the Mormon temple in San Diego.
It's a great landmark off the freeway in San Diego, you go by, you just gotta look, great white beautiful building up on a hill.
So I had to get on the bus "like a normal person" and come out later as the bellydancer.
Couldn't really accomplish much in the way of dancing, just trying to stay upright as the bus rollicked and rolled on down the highway. The crowd was congenial enough, considering the situation, and what else did they have to do? Captive audience!

The head guy had a flashing, large red button, he wanted me to attach it to my costume, as it didn't really work as a navel jewel!

As we were driving in the bus, the limo was following right along, EMPTY, as an inticement, I forget what they were supposed to do, but someone was going to win a limo ride at a later date.

When we got there, I didn't go to temple , but I did learn that everyone wears white to the service, which I actually thought was a cool idea. . . .

Then I got to go back home in the limo. . . .OK, that was pretty cool, but dancing on a bus, uh, I think I will pass next time. . . .

the prom

2006-10-17T05:12:51Z

I had my first solo paid gig this weekend. This rural high school in a tiny, tiny town hired me to dance for their prom. The theme was "Arabian Nights."

I was a little nervous, because they had told me the school board was worried about showing too much cleavage, so I wore a choli, instead of my new bedleh (I think I could have gotten away with the bedleh). There were less than 200 kids in the school and they did a great job on decorating. They painted all of the students' names in English and in Arabic, underneath it. I was impressed as this would have taken a significant amount of research and I was also surprised given the political situation.

They seemed to really love the performance and I was baffled at the fact that I finally attended a prom...as a bellydancer.

Strange questions...

2006-10-05T12:50:13Z

OK, a bit different, no weird gigs, but strange questions asked by people who want to hire you. So what weird questions have you been asked?

I got a strange question some days ago. An artist agency called because they were looking for a dancer and then the lady on the phone wanted a quote, but I tried to explain that I have different prices for different events. she was so unclear and fast talking to give straightforward answers, so the whole thing seemed pretty strange already. She couldn't really explain if the performance was for a company or for a restaurant (big price difference there!). And then she asked: 'do you really look like you do in your site and is your hair the same length?' As if my hair is more important then my dancing!

Wrestling Match with THE SHEIK

2006-09-12T21:02:43Z

Kansas City held a reunion (caged) wrestling match between The Sheik and Hacksaw (remember them?) We got to be the entourage girls for The Sheik to make his grand entrance (to the cheesy snake-charmer song, you know da-da-daaa-daaa-da) and then dance in front of the wrestling cage!!Fun!

My weird gig.... what I DIDN'T know ahead of time

2006-08-15T23:21:19Z

Ok so I get a call from a local BD that asked me if I could dance at the Dungeon for a wedding party. I thought hmmm... this sounds like a cool place, I didn't know that our area had a cool place like that. I didn't know much or anything other than they wanted us to dance to live music (drummers we provided) and that it was for a wedding.

I drive up to people outside with 12' whips, and they were in pirate costuming cracking whips. I thought ok, ODD.... but still didn't have much of a clue as to what I had got myself into.

Before walking into the door, I was asked to sign a non-disclosure and no picture waiver. Another redlight, but hey I was getting paid for this gig and I was doing it for a favor of someone else.

SOOO in I went. What I didn't know and soon found out is that the Dungeon is a S&M place. That while there was nothing strange going on while we were dancing, there were some strange individuals (interesting I should say). We did our sets and then were about to leave and they asked us if we wanted to stay and "play". That was when things started happening. *non-disclosure, won't say anything.

I will say this, the people were nice, different, but nice... but it would have helped to know more about the venue before I showed up......

Billion Belly March, Fremont Solstice Parade '06

2006-06-02T08:10:21Z

We need every Belly!
I'll be there. Come join us! You should see this. Dancers from all around the US are joining us in Seattle.
http://www.visionarydance.com/TheSolsticeParade2006.html
Blog: http://www.visionarydance.com/cgi-bin/bellyblog.cgi

It's quite an extraordinary experience, to be with so many women making such a strong statement going down the street, showing our presence to the world! It makes everybody happy in the several thousand people crowd. The kids don't believe their eyes, men are more then happy and women are so glad to see us too. I find this event to be an important one for women. There aren't that many important events such as like the Billion Belly March in the Fremont Solstice Parade. Delilah has been at it for more then 15 years... My first one was last year.

It's the expression of the free creative spirit with a strong community sense. Showing how we, women, are part of this society and can contribute in different ways then men. We are seeking national attention for this reason. Showing our presence.

Get out of jail, do not collect $400

2006-05-29T18:03:36Z

In the mid 90s my 1st troupe got a $400 gigue dancing in a federal prison for about 550 prisoners, we were in a gym and they were seated on bleechers (sp?). My teacher had specifically said no video taping, and yet there were cameras set up. Why? in case a riot broke out they would know who started it (ah yes, they were in fact facing the wrong way!) At the last minute the woman who hired us panicked and we had to layer ourselves in our veils as to not expose bellies. Once we began dancing the Muslim men in our audience (according to their religion) got up and pilgrimed outta there. Pretty distracting since there were so many.
Finally when the bill went across the big-guy's desk, he refused to pay! My teacher threated to write letters to the newspaper, etc and I guess they decided it would be better to give her the money!

boob cake

2005-12-04T17:53:04Z

I did a birthday party for some Israelies a couple of years ago. When I came in the said they wanted me to carry the cake in. The had it covered up. Then it was time for me to go out. They handed the cake to me and took the cover off and I looked down and saw that I was holding a cake shaped like two boobs! Before I could even think they opened the door to the room and pushed me out.
After the show I went out to my car and laughed until I cried. The other girls in the troupe still get a kick out of it.

Black Face Anyone?

2005-11-13T05:03:58Z

First of all - great idea for a tribe. (Also check out 'ugly bellydance costumes if you haven't).

Check this out- I did a show at the Tiburon Yacht Club in Marin County CA. (Sounds a lot fancier than it was.) It was a birthday party for a 70 year old member of the club. There must have been 200 people. The party planner had coordinated a 1940s themed party, complete with Little Orphan ANnie and Andrews Sisters impersonators. I was there with another dancer as part of a schtick on Rick's Cafe in the movie Casablanca.

Just before we're supposed to go on, a 40ish year old man wearing an old-style tux with tails comes out in tap shoes and black makeup on his face- with the big white lips and all. I didn't know whether to laugh or run away screaming.

They've posted photos of the event on their site- http://www.tyc.org/. Click on 'Rick's Cafe Paradiso.' That's me in the first photo. You may notice they've cleverly removed any images of Sambo- but there is a lady with one of those mink stoles that still has the head attached- nasty!

Day of the Dead

2005-11-09T00:43:01Z

My troupe was just asked to perform at a Day of the Dead Celebration. It's being organized by the local Latin Culture Association. It sounds like a blast - they want us to dress up like skeletons or somehow incorporate skeletons and skulls into our costumes. It's definitely different from anything else we've done - I hope it works out.

Assisted Living Facility

2005-11-06T13:30:17Z

I was hired to dance an ALF, and the first weirdness came when I went there to check out the space, sound situation, etc. The activity director who hired me said, "now these men are old, but they aren't dead. I don't really know what you wear to dance in, but we don't want it to be too revealing." So, okay, if you aren't really familiar with the dance, I can kind of understand you being a little worried that you are maybe getting a little more than you bargained for. But then the night arrives, I get there, and there is this little old man in a wheelchair who has to be like 90, and he's asking me if I'm going to "take it off"!!!

I was a little taken aback, but politely explained that this was a *different* kind of dancing. He then proceeds to talk to me, asking questions throughout the ENTIRE dance (1/2 hour performance). Mostly things like, what is this music? Where did you learn this? Did you do ballet? I used to dance ballet and you look like you know ballet. Do men do this? Did you learn this from a man? etc.

I didn't know what else to do but keep smiling and dancing.

Unusual tip

2005-10-17T01:38:59Z

The other day I did a wedding, really nice and high end class. There was definitely around 800 to 1,000 people.
The lady that hired me lied about the people so I was kind of annoyed... if I would off know it was so many people and so high end I would off charged a little bit more.

The weird part about it is that after I finished I got my money and they gave me a piece of cake as the tip.

Can you guys believe that? I was expecting to get a nice tip since I had to go around so many tables working the crowd... and the only think I get is a piece of dark cake... =0(

Weird drunk guy

2005-09-25T18:15:47Z

The city where I live has a weekly downtown festival during June and September. My troupe dances once during each month.

Two weeks after our June performance, a man walked into our class (which is at a health club) and announced, in a gravelly, drunk voice that he had found something that one of the dancers had lost. The following conversation ensued:

Our teacher: Okay, I can take it and give it to them.
Drunk guy: Oh. I don't have it with me, but it's got real sentimental value. I can tell. There was a little red-haired lady wearing it (Since half of our troupe had hennaed their hair, this did not narrow it down).
Our teacher: Well, what was it?
Drunk guy: Oh. I can't tell you, but it has real sentimental value and it's not worth anything unless I get a reward.

At this point, we told him to leave or we would have someone come and make him leave for us. This was kind of embarrassing as there were several first-timers in our class wondering if this was a common occurence.

Thing is, no one lost anything. We figure it must have been someone's bindi or a coin from someone's costume.

He tried to do the same thing after our September show, but came by when we weren't there.

Anyone else have an experience like this?

Why every dancer should play zills!

2005-08-30T00:42:27Z

For my first paid gig a dance friend and I agreed to do a birthday party for an elderly man. There was a nasty thunder storm and just before we were going to perform, the power went out. The hostess was getting very impatient because even thought she had told us to go on then she has sceduled us a bit late and everyone wanted to go home. So as we were trying to figure out what to do she was egging us to dance even though we didn't have music. She said "We will just clap for you. The show must go on!" and in the changing room one of her friends said "We will sing for you" and then hummed the snake charmer song. Eck! So finally it comes to this. I have a room full of elderly people, all wanting to go home, sitting in the dark waiting for us to dance with no music. Thankfully we had our zills and decided to use them. Not sure how I mustered the energy to dance in the first place, but we pulled it off. We played our zills, the audience clapped along for a little while, and the DJ played some crappy little bongos for us. We zilled our entire set which included two veil pieces, sword, and isis wings what we kinda threw together as we went. And all we had for stage lighting was the candles on the birthday cake!

After the fact, I decided I maybe should have worn my white and gold Neckelmann's instead of the black and brown one. Oops!

Funeral Home

2005-08-11T02:16:07Z

I was asked to do a bellygram for an employee at a funeral home. I talked them into a singing telegram instead. It was a lot of fun - and the bellygram probably would have been fine - I was just worried about someone stopping in to check on details for a funeral. I also had one recently where the woman who hired me didn't like my music, so she turned it off and turned her own on. So much for the carefully chosen and practiced material!

My weird gig

2005-08-07T02:19:37Z

This wasn't a bellydance gig, it was a hula. My mom and I were booked for for a standard hula by a group having a luau. We do this quite often, so it didnt seem odd. We took our usual set, with costume changes and headed for the venue, which was a school gym.

We are going through doing our regular set, a couple of modern hulas together, then I change while Mom does a war chant, I come out and do Maori poi, while she changes, then she comes back and talks a bit while I change to our costume for chants. We get ready to do our chants to Pele, the goddess of fire. We light our candles, and start the dance. About a verse and a half into the dance, a man comes up to us and stands between us and starts talking to my mom, telling her we have to stop now. We have to leave. Stop the dance, now. We are still dancing and smiling, not really knowing what is going on, when someone unplugs the jam box. So we stop and bow, and leave the stage.

We pack up our stuff and try to exit graciously, not knowing what else to do. The guy who was talking to us gets up on stage with a mic from somewhere (that wasn't pugged in) and starts preaching about Jesus being the one true god. Never so much as looking our way or anything. It was ery strange.

Normal Gig, Weird tip.

2005-08-02T21:52:42Z

Not that this is a big deal or anything, but to me it was HIGHLY unusual. So anyway, my troupe just did a great show at a coffee house where we have performed several times before. This show however, was the first time our leader had put any emphasis on tips. Now, tipping is wonderful, but if given the option I'd perfer somebody just stick money in our tipping basket or toss it on the floor rather than putting it on my body. (I DON'T like strangers touching me). So anyway, in attendance was my public speaking professor from last spring (he saw the flyer and came partially because I gave a "Belly Dance 101" Speech in his class). Long story short, after the performance when I was just standing around talking to people from my drawing class, and he came up behind me and stuck a dollar right over my right hip! he was obviously familar with bellydance, and didn't mean any disrespect....but none the less, I was (and am) considerably weirded out.

ok this is kinda weird...

2005-07-13T12:42:11Z

when i saw this tribe, i had to post...

my first (at least, i think it was my first!) gig: my teacher called me saying 'i have to do this gig tonight, do you want to dance with me?' The man holding the party had had a band booked, but at the last minute they couldn't make it, so he had called my teacher. i was a bit freaked out, there was no choreography to be done, just improv and go for it... so me, my teacher, and one other student headed over to the party. we danced, it was fine i guess for a first performance- i was very nervous and to make matters worse some girls who took classes with another teacher in town (whom i also took classes with) were there, so i felt like i had 'proper' dancers watching my every (inept!) move... anyway, to get to the weird part- there was a dog passed out on the couch, and after we finished i went over to give him a pat. he looked really familiar and i realised that i had been looking after this same dog for about a year at my work at a dog kennel! the story was, his owner had abandoned him at the kennel, and we ended up taking care of him for a year (poor boy) until eventually someone adopted him. the party was actually for the dog, on the occasion of his one year anniversary since he had been adopted!

dancing for gun makers!

2005-07-12T17:25:51Z

HI
hers my odd gig
I was hired to do a bellygram
I dont usually do bellygrams because I dont have what I would describe as a bellydancer's "marketable" body
being plus-sized most non dancers dont get it, they expect thinner and all
well even after they saw my picture they still wanted me
I didnt know what the company did just the name, Sabre something somethin so I of course included a sword dance
Oh and it was for the supervisors birthday during break
I ALWAYS tell my students take someone with them to gigs, and I almost didnt, but the hubby said he would go with
BOY am I glad he did
turns out I danced in the break room of a machine shop that manufactures machine gun parts and ships them to the war in Iraq! (eek!)

my audience were a bunch of scarey guys, quite a few with no teeth
only 4 women-including me
so glad took the hubby with (looks sort of Steven Segal-ish) so had intimidating body guard

BUT what I really want to know is WHY would these people have hired a bellydancer?

Oh the sword dance went off great and, ladies learn your zills because you could not hear my music over the machine shop-but you could hear the zills

My gas station Gig

2005-07-04T20:32:20Z

I work at a gas station, so that's how I got this gig. It was a charity event for the Special Olympics. They had my managers in a dunk tank, various foods for sale, people pumping gas for customers, and us the bellydancers. And after I danced I did henna for an hour and raised another $31. My troupe put on a big show. It totalled maybe half an hour to 45 minutes long, and then my troupe free danced with a tip basket while I did henna. Not sure how much they made with the tip basket, but they helped to raise some more money and got people's attention anyway. We had 5 solo pieces and I think 4 group/duet pieces. And we danced in the parking lot. It all went over pretty well. The only incident is that we ended our set dancing into the store and some guy standing near the doorway mumbled a "shake it" but whatever. I still enjoy seeing the look on people's faces when I tell them I bellydanced at a gas station. :-P

my weird gig

2005-05-13T04:17:38Z

Last year I also had a weird gig, when I went there I didn't know I was a advertisement stunt at a fair (they actually told me they were giving a 'goodbye party'), to attract people to their shop!
It was weird and not nice. If you think you are hired for a party and no one tells you why you were hired (only after the performance), it is quite hard to dance. The situation was very strange. The person who hired me kept making weird and nasty remarks, so when I started I was already really pissed. Of course things go wrong then; my veil pulled out my nose ring, I could put it back, so it was not really bad. Due to the dry air in the environment my smile froze (my mouth got so dry that my lips got stuck to my teeth), so after when people wanted to talk to me I couldn't talk anymore. That nasty man forced people to dance with me while they did not want to. So it was a weird and also nasty gig!

My Story

2005-05-03T05:49:13Z

About 2 years ago I got hired to do a birthday party. I took one of my dancer friends along with me. The party was a very "alternative" group. We went out and did a party set- upbeat pop, crowd involvement - that culminated in the birthday boy being brought out by his friends on a shoulder carried litter, head freshly shaved as of a few minutes before, dressed in an orange robe (like a buddhist monk). Our job then was to dance in front of his procession and put mardi gras beads on the guests.

Fast forward two years....

This past Saturday I did another birthday party. at an ultra modern house in a very ritzy part of town. As I was coming in a guy says "hey, I know you! You danced at my birthday party.Your picture is on all my friends' refrigerators-I made thank-you postcards with it." I'm thinking "I do 2 or 3 parties every month, he doesn't look familiar." Then he said "I had my head shaved..." "Oh THAT party! I remember YOU!" Small world.

detective nosy nose and the busy bodies

2005-05-02T05:15:50Z

So, this is what inspired this tribe. Yesterday one other dancer from my troupe and I danced for Zan, a music artist, at a science museum in atlanta, there were lots of taxedermed animals, children, and 1 CNN camera. The whole thing was to promote this new product: the "scentdome". Zan has the world's first "scent compatible" music video. Anyway, also performing was
"Detective Nosy Nose", with young child dancers (the "busy bodies") whom they are trying to get a children's show for. weird. If anyone happens to see a rather confused looking, yellow-clad belly dancer on CNN, it's me. I hope my dad doen't see it.
